Removing Dollar and comma from string

Question

How can we remove dollar sign ($) and all comma(,) from same string? Would it be better to avoid regex?

String liveprice = \"$123,456.78\";

Answer 1

Example using Swedish Krona currency

String x="19.823.567,10 kr";

        x=x.replace(".","");
        x=x.replaceAll("\\s+","");
        x=x.replace(",", ".");
        x=x.replaceAll("[^0-9 , .]", "");

System.out.println(x);

Will give the output ->19823567.10(which can now be used for any computation)
